I just replied to your email, here’s a copy of the reply in case it is not received and There are a couple other questions you asked here that I’ll address too…

Connections has no login form. This is intentional. Many themes already provide custom login solutions and for the ones that don’t. I recommend using one of the many plugins that are available in which that it is there main focus and feature set. Try this plugin, it looks nice:

As I mentioned, there is no output for user selection of the categories. That is where the templates come in. Several templates offer a searchable category drop down. By putting the categories in this searchable drop down you save your visitor many clicks by not forcing them to “drill down”. It also saves a lot of space so the initial results are shown “above the fold”. More info: Ok I see you said you have cMap. You installed it and activated it on the plugins page and on the Connections : Templates admin page, correct? That’ll give you the user selectable categories, but not as a list. It’ll be the searchable drop down I mentioned.

I admit I need to put up a little more documentation on the widgets but you are on the correct admin page (shown by your screen capture). Drag the Connections : Categories widget over to on of the theme’ side bar location. I can not be more specific than that, sorry. The screen capture does not show what sidebar locations the theme supports.
